This is a wooden netsuke (sagemono) made during the Showa period. The design is based on "Inankurukamuy," the bear god from Ainu mythology. It's a charming piece with a simple yet powerful expression. On the back, the inscription "Design Registration" and registration number "No. 282460" can be seen (though it's difficult to read, so it might be incorrect). This indicates that it was an officially registered design craft item at the time. There is also a sumi-e (ink writing) that appears to be the maker's mark (workshop mark), suggesting that it is a work by an artist or workshop, rather than a tourist souvenir or mass-produced item. The netsuke/sagemono has a completed form, and the natural aging of the wood and wear and tear are also apparent. It is recommended for those who like folk crafts, Showa retro style, and Ainu culture motifs. 【Condition】 ・Due to its age, there are scratches, small marks, and color unevenness due to aging. ・No noticeable cracks or damage are found. ・The tassel is believed to be from the original period and shows signs of use. ・Please check the photos for details. ※The era and the artist are not definitively determined, but are based on the design registration number and inscriptions.
